@Paul - iBasso I love the SR2 and the stock cable is superb, still... any plans for a balanced upgrade?
I'm using the Meze 99 balanced upgrade cable with mine. Works like a charm, though I'm considering a proper custom cable for these great headphones.@Paul - iBasso I love the SR2 and the stock cable is superb, still... any plans for a balanced upgrade?

Good question, David. I will get back to you later today, depending on mail delivery
Yes, we have the CB17 that is just coming out. It is a very reasonable (and worth much more) 99 USD.@Paul - iBasso I love the SR2 and the stock cable is superb, still... any plans for a balanced upgrade?

I was hoping it would be a little shorter, like 4.5 ft. It's a little long for me and use with a dap. Sure is a nice cable though.Here is a close up of iBasso CB17 cable for SR2 (though, can be probably used with other 3.5mm-earcup jack headphones). It is the same cable as stock, the same length as well, but with a balanced termination - nice quality plug with a carbon fiber insert. Typically, you will find a lot of desktop equipment with 3.5mm/6.35mm headphone outputs, thus I assume the reason why iBasso chose that plug/adapter in SR2 stock cable. This will give you an option to upgrade the cable for use with 4.4mm balanced DAPs.

I'm using the Meze upgrade cableIt is longer than a typical 1.2m cable, though only 1.8m, still better than some desktop 3m cables Plus, this is a typical dual 3.5mm 2ring earcup termination, nothing proprietary so you will be able to find a shorter replacement, just don't know if cheaper consider CB17 and stock cable feature high purity silver copper alloy and this one cost $99. I mean, I have seen a lot of cheap cables but they either use low quality copper or spc wires.
